Roma midfielder: But if they choose like that, ok. We will adapt (ANSA)


"In favor of the playoffs to complete the season? A lot of things are heard these days.
    If this formula is chosen, why not. In my opinion, the best solution would be to go to the end of the competition and play the last 12 days. We adapt ".
    So the Roma midfielder, Jordan Veretout, during an interview with Le Parisien. "We would like to be sure of the resumption of the championship but I know that everything will depend on the evolution of the coronavirus contagion curve. It is therefore difficult to have a precise date" he adds before remembering that the Giallorossi also have continental commitments: "We also have in mind "Europa League with a double confrontation with Sevilla. Due to the spread of the epidemic we were unable to play and we were unable to go to Spain for the first leg of the eighth final. We made the wisest decision."
    The choice to make the Champions League match between Atalanta and Valencia play in Milan with the fans in the stands is instead rejected by Veretout. "The virus could have spread quickly in Lombardy. It is far from coincidence that the city of Bergamo found itself in the heart of the pandemic with a dramatic number of deaths. It was folly to allow the public to attend this meeting" words of the ex Fiorentina player, well aware of the risks he is facing: "The positive cases recorded in Serie A? Everyone is affected. The sportsmen are not spared. The virus does not stop at the locker room doors. to respect the spacing measures. There is not much else to do to protect yourself. We are not safe, of course. You can go shopping and be in the wrong place at the wrong time by contracting the virus. " Finally, Veretout also comments on the resumption of the Bundesliga confessing that he attended a "strange" show. Seeing the empty stadiums, the absence of celebrations, those restrictions after a goal. Football is an emotion to be shared with the public We don't go out to play with each other. "
